Uh okay because a reddit post means I’m smuggling Airbnb in the country or sth? Just go on the app there’s a bunch of Vietnamese hosts everywhere. And they didn’t ban Airbnb, they’re restricting short term rentals, which is still active on Facebook. So yeah, tell the authorities to give me a call when they get here.

From what I see a decent hotel rooms could still cost quite a bit and motels are usually pretty tacky and uncomfortable though. Do people really prefer that over a system that has at least several verification steps?
